You may already know but this years WRC is being cover by Dave, no the Tv Channel, not the block, why did they change it to Dave??? :-/

Anyway back to the point starts this sunday @ 6PM. Hopfully we'll get to see all of it this year at a proper time. Now all we need is the V8 super cars on at a decent time and we'll be set

Anyone up for a Bathurst party this year??

I "aquired" a set of Corsa C ones that attach to the number plate. Cut the power plug off at spliced into the Omega loom, just a feed from the reverse lamp bulb and an earth. Work great and no holes in the bumper, Result

they done that on top gear when Hampster tried to drive an F1 Car. They reckon that because the engine is so tight when cold its more or else seized, they have to slowly warm the oil and coolant to 80 oC before they can even think about turning it over

Be no good on a cold day and your late for work would it!

They wont build another RWD car as FWD is cheaper to build. I think the Omega platform was the last RWD "World" car from GM as it was used by Vauxhall, Opel, Chevy & Holden.

Christ they won't even bring this into the UK, iys only being made in wrong hand drive, available in Europe and the US

I think that this would blow away the BMW Z3 & 4 cars. Its 20 turbo, 268 bhp with 283 Nm torque.

I had a good look at one of these last year while in Germany but wasn't able to drive it. A friend of mine was invited as a special guest for the US launch in Palm Springs, reckonds its a great little car.

Anyway, pictures

you don't need to know the trade club number , as long as the forum is registered your ok.

What will happen is that you will go into your local dealer for a T/C parts and he'll charge you full up money unless you already know them.

When you say to the spotty herbert behind the counter you want it at T/C prices he'll get a glazed look over his face and say "you wnat what".

At this point ask to speak to the parts manager and ask him to call Trade club with the forum detail and they will supply him with the membership number for his paper work.

If that fails you can always call me on 01284 777254 and i'll do the rest
